Review: "The 16" and 18" China Types didn't produce what I would call a typical "Chinese" sound. Now, don't misunderstand me here: I much preferred these cymbals to more traditional China types. I found them more musical and much less "trashy"— and yet they were still a strong contrast to the other Alpha models. So as far as I'm concerned, they served the function of China types completely; they simply did it in a slightly different manner from the norm"

Review: "The new 14" model produced a very brief explosion, and not as much spread or wash as I like to hear from a China cym-bal. It seemed a bit thick and thus sounded a little clangy. The 18" model, however, had much more spread (owing to its larger size) and sounded much trashier."
